Eckels Island on the Net

This is the Question Mark page. Here is where you'll find some sort of explanation as to the meaning of each icon displayed on the Cover Page.

This is the Home Page Icon. Clicking on this image on any of my sites will bring you right back to the Home page...which is probably where you were before you came here  :-)

This Icon represents my first attempt at an online Journal, or "Blog". I'm not sure where the word Blog originated, but irregardless of origin it's what we'll call my keyboard ramblings. This will probably be the most active page on my site and will contain a general commentary on life as it goes on.

This Icon will eventually represent my "serious" photography site, but for  now it just links to my Flickr pictures page. I've been working on a site to show off the work I used to sell at art shows and galleries for the last couple years, but still have yet to assemble something that I'm not ashamed to show off. It's also going to require more website building skills then I currently possess to do with it what I want it to do........have patience please.

Unlike above this is an active link and my oldest and longest running website, active since 2001 when I was offered the position of website photographer for Berlin Raceway's website. The job only lasted one season, but that was enough to get me going and since then I've been shooting short track racing all over Western Michigan.

This is another active link and houses one of the loves of my life, my 1956 Chevy 210 Sedan. Thanks to Yahoo/Geocites new stupidass sidebar the formatting on some of the pages is a bit messed up. One of these days I'm going to fix it and it'll probably be 2 days before they drop the side bar and do something else annoying.

 

This is another automotive related site. It's a photographic based site with 100's of shots of all the great hot rod's and classic cars that show up at all the car shows we attend with our '56. 

I've been a music lover all my life. I started buying albums at an early age with lunch money. Somewhere along the line it became an obsession and over the years I've accumulated close to 2,000 vinyl albums. This site is simply an alphabetical listing, with album cover pics, general info and the best part.....an album review by yours truly. The 1st pages are online now.

This Icon represents my 2nd attempt at a Blog and this one has a much more determined purpose. This is where I will turn you on to Recordings that you need to know about, particularly if you are like me... love good music and can't bear to listen to the crap that the commercial radio stations play these days. I'm hoping someone will buy something based on what they read here and then come back and share their opinion in an intelligent fashion.

This may be one of the stranger places on this island, but it should be an interesting spot to visit once it's online. I've been collecting T-Shirts almost as long as I've collecting records and I decided it'd be fun to show 'em off, tell their story and maybe supply some interesting links that relate. As soon as I'm done shooting the shirts I'll start building pages......

This is Jeannette Lynne Eckels, my oldest daughter, born in 1985. Clicking here will send you to her website and Blog that she recently started. She's recently gone and turned me into a grandparent but I still love her anyhow.

     

This is the 3rd blog to come online. It's called TC's Rants & Raves and basically it's just like it sounds. Here's where I'll either get stuff off my chest by venting on issues like stupid people, or give out a Attaboy for someone or some group who go above and beyond the norm. I suspect there's gonna be more rants than raves given the current state of the planet. 

    The Working Man....This is an attempt to establish contact with my real world as far as what I've done for employment over the years. Basically right now I just plan to have my resume online so that's it's easy for prospective employers to view. Lord knows over the last 20 years with Michigan's ever dwindling manufacturing economy I've either been laid-off and looking for work or working and wondering how long it'll be before I get laid-off again. I believe there's like 6 places that I've worked in the last 20 years that no longer exist and I don't think #7 is far behind.

Right now all this site is, is a collection of snapshots of our 4 Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties...NOT miniature Collies). There is a long range plan (dream) to sell our house in town and move to a place in the sticks with enough acreage to have a small hobby Kennel where they can have room to run and we can raise a litter or two a year. Stay tuned!

I'm not sure yet exactly how I'm going to assemble this site. What it will be eventually is a online scrapbook, full of bits and pieces of my earlier years. Once I get all this stuff organized and online maybe someone out there can explain what exactly happened to me, or maybe it'll be painfully obvious even to me at that point......we'll see. 

This is Rianna Larraine Eckels, my second daughter, born in 1988. Clicking here will send you to her Blog that she recently started. She just graduated from high school last June (2006) and got married in September. No grandkids from this one yet but I'm sure there will be eventually. Don't rush into anything on my account Ri! 

Well I'll bet you guessed what this one was just by the picture over there.....it's the links page and the links you'll find here are the ones that won't fit on any of the sites above. I'm trying to group them in an organized fashion and as soon as I'm satisfied with end result I'll put the page online. Just promise me you won't wander too far off and not come back.
